Ask the Grid is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Live U.S. electric-grid data, forecasts, alerts, and analysis across major grid regions. In practice that means any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call Ask the Grid's tools directly — the model decides when to use them in a conversation or agent run.
It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://mcp.askthegrid.com/v1/global and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v1.0.0.
Ask the Grid is listed under Development on mcp.site and works with any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and the rest of the ecosystem — using the install snippets below.
